#FAQs
**Q**: I'm having FPS issues in game when using the new client, or my new client is lagging.
**A**: If since upgrading your client, you're experiencing lag on the client itself or a drop in FPS in game, consider enabling low spec mode and making the client auto close when you load in to game. Below is a GIF that shows how you can do it.

**Q: I hate not being able to see my friends list when I go into champ select.**
**A**: We're planning to solve this problem in patch 7.9 with a change that lets you start new conversations from the chat module. Additionally, clicking the "NEW MESSAGE" button in the chat module will show you your friends list sorted by availability, so you'll be able to see which are your friends are online from champ select. We'll post an update in the patch notes when this change hits or if it gets delayed for any reason

**Q: The new client is missing some of the features that the old one had, like career stats on the profile.**
**A**: We've committed to doing more work on the profile page and the collection to bring back missing features like the profile's career stats since we needed to focus on getting the new client performing better before shifting our focus. That work has been scheduled for after we replace the legacy client, to more feature work.

**Q: My game crashes when I open the launcher shortcut on my desktop**
